PAST EVENT
The Victoria Sexual Assault Centre is a feminist organization committed to ending sexualized violence through healing, education, and prevention. We are dedicated to supporting women and all trans survivors of sexual assault and childhood sexual abuse, through advocacy, counselling, and empowerment.
We provide direct services to survivors including crisis support, one-to-one counselling, and support groups. We serve as a liaison between individuals affected by sexual violence, the justice and medical systems, and community services. In addition, we provide youth-led violence prevention education to the community in an effort to end gender-based violence.
“Thank you so much. I’m starting to feel safe. You all inspire me to live every day with courage and embrace the fact that I am strong.” — VSAC Client”

WATCH THE REPLAYPlease join us for our 2019 Annual General Meeting followed by a monologue presentation performed by staff of the Victoria Sexual Assault Centre.
Survivor Stories chronicles the experiences of victims of sexual assault aged 101 to 15 years old, and their journeys towards healing.* This monologue presentation strives to give voice to survivors and the work the Victoria Sexual Assault Centre alongside them to find hope and rebuild their lives after trauma. Survivor Stories demonstrates that healing is possible, wherever a person is in their journey.
*In order to protect the confidentiality of clients, the stories presented are composites of survivors we have served throughout our 36 years of service.
